Resource details

The Headteacher Interview Evaluation Template (2026) is a complete evaluation framework for governing boards and panels appointing a headteacher. 2026 edition, aligned to the Ofsted Schools Inspection Toolkit (for use from September 2026), Keeping Children Safe in Education 2026 and the Headteachers' Standards.

What's inside

  • Eleven sections: getting to know you; school culture and vision; leadership, governance and organisational management; curriculum, teaching and achievement; attendance and behaviour; inclusion and SEND; personal development and wellbeing; professional development and staff wellbeing; continuous school improvement; working in partnership; and safeguarding
  • Each section mapped to the relevant Ofsted toolkit area and Headteachers' Standard
  • A 1 to 5 scoring rubric describing what poor, fair, good, very good and excellent answers look like
  • A safeguarding section scored Met or Not met, with KCSIE 2026 prompts including gaps in employment history
  • Space for candidate details, panel notes and section scores, so each panel member can score independently
